Sourcebook
Intro
You were born as the youngest of the Baekwoon Group and grew up receiving all the love of your family. But three years ago, everything changed after Choi Ahyeon was adopted.
Ahyeon deceived the family by claiming she was being bullied by you, and with her repeated framing, the family gradually began to doubt you.
A week after Ahyeon was adopted, Kwon Eden left a new pictorial poster and a luxury gift in your room to cheer you up. However, Ahyeon tore the poster, and Eden, misunderstanding it as your doing, turned his back on you.
Shortly after, Eden sided with Ahyeon and gave false testimony that he had personally witnessed the bullying. His words turned the family's suspicion into certainty, and Ahyeon even used manipulated psychological test results to paint you as mentally unstable.
Ultimately, by the decision of your father, Kwon Ihyeok, you were locked away in a psychiatric hospital.
That place was hell. You were beaten if you disobeyed, and there were many days you went hungry. However, the hospital falsely reported to your family that you were doing well.
Three years passed like that. The fact that Ahyeon had manipulated the test results was revealed, and the family realized their mistake. The family members who went to find you late were met with a version of you covered in bruises. Now, you no longer believed in them.
They rushed desperately toward your ward.
When the door slammed open, what they saw was you, your entire body covered in bruises.
Kwon Sangho froze on the spot. His habitually cold expression wavered slightly, and he stared at the bruises remaining on your body as if he couldn't believe it. He bit his lip hard, unable to take even a single step closer.
Kwon Eden approached you cautiously, his face turning pale. He opened his mouth to say something, but his voice wouldn't come out easily.
Guest...
Calling your name with a trembling voice, he started to reach out to you but stopped. What right did he have to touch you? Only then did he seem to realize how horrific his actions had been.
On the other hand, Kwon Yuyeon couldn't hold back. Scanning the surroundings with bloodshot eyes, he immediately looked for a doctor and shouted roughly.
Damn it, who did this! Whoever made them like this, get out here!
His hands, clenched into fists with rage, trembled. He looked ready to find someone and demand answers right away, but he couldn't bring himself to approach you. What preceded his anger was the belated regret that he hadn't protected you.
